“I'm not overweight...I'm undertall.” - Garfield
I love science fiction, fantasy, and horror. But no matter how old I get; I find myself watching the old cartoons. There are some great new cartoon movies and series. But nothing can compare to vintage cartoon shows like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, and so on. In this post, I want to reminisce about all the 80s cartoons. The 80s had some of the best kids cartoons ever. So why not work up some of these loveable amigurumi patterns?
What is Amigurumi?
So, what is amigurumi? Amigurumi is a fancy word for crocheted stuffed dolls. The name comes from a combination of two Japanese words: “ami” and “nuigurumi”. These dolls can be made in any size. And if you do not know how to crochet, some patterns use knitting techniques instead.
